Around the Rosy

An outstanding little store for shoppers and consigners! The merchandise, from clothing to gear, is thoughtfully curated — no clutter or stuffed racks. Top brands, great quality, everything well organized and nicely displayed. Many items are even new with tags, so why not start here when looking for that perfect baby gift?
For an «upscale» boutique (CT translation: most likely pretentious), the owner and sales associate are very friendly when dealing with both customers and consigners. I always walk out with something for my girls (a new knit baby blanket, a super cute bunting, an adorable little corduroy dress) and my experience consigning with them (60% for store credit!) has been refreshingly positive.
I wish I had known about Around The Rosy when I was pregnant for the first time! I definitely would have asked friends and family for Gift Cards!

We toured multiple baby consignment stores and bought nothing. Then we chanced upon this one and guess what — we loaded up the car with a lot of stuff. Everything is well displayed, organized and looks either gently used or new. Very well kept store, uncluttered like the others. Have a wide price range of items and clothing. We also got a lot of pointers from the owners on what to buy when — much needed advice for us who are soon to be first time parents. I see myself coming back again and again.

Best kids consignment shop! They have only the highest quality clothing and the store is super organized. It’s very easy to find things and all of their merchandise looks brand new! I love the designer boutique section. A must see shop.

This is a consigner’s dream come true! Around The Rosy is by far the best children’s consignment shop/​boutique I have been to. My older sister is huge into children’s consignment shops, and since becoming a mother myself, I decided to follow in her footsteps. Before I came home to CT to visit my parents this week, I did a little research on some local places I could check out to round out my baby girl’s spring and summer wardrobe, and Around the Rosy was the first place I wanted to check out.
To begin with, the store itself is nicely laid out. Too often consignment stores feel crowded, poorly organized, and just all jumbled. Around The Rosy feels like a nice shop where you can enjoy perusing through (not digging around) the merchandise. As tends to occur, there is a better selection of girls’ clothes than boys’, but that was not a problem for me! The clothes are all nicely hung, clearly labeled, and organized on round racks. The store has a bright and cheerful vibe to it. There is even an inviting back area where little ones can play.
The clothes — oh my. I really had to limit myself in what I purchased and I forced myself to put many things back. I ended up getting a lot of great items — all in perfect condition, you can hardly tell they are used, even gently so. Some of my very favorite finds:
–Janie and Jack floral lightweight baby capris ($ 6)
–Blue and white seersucker Ralph Lauren formal dress ($ 10)
–Leather Sperry Top-​siders for toddler girl ($ 12)
–Red ruffle and pin-​tucked shorts from baby Gap ($ 6)
–baby Gap cream soft-​soled leather Mary Janes ($ 6)
I also got a Phil & Ted’s MeToo (clip-​on highchair — great for travel) in really great condition for $ 28.
There is a range of prices that reflects the range of products… everything from Carters and Old Navy and Gap to Zutano and Gymboree and Janie and Jack to Petit Ami and Petit Bateau… dresses, hats, shoes, shorts, rompers, pajamas, everything! There is a small selection of toys and books as well, and some really great, gently used strollers and other baby essentials. I was hoping to find a Baby Bjorn travel crib but apparently those are quite in demand and go like hotcakes whenever they come in (not surprisingly!).
The woman who was working yesterday — the owner’s sister — was so friendly and helpful. My mom (who accompanied me) was also very impressed with the quality and selection of the items here — she was particularly drawn to the vintage looking dresses with the beautiful smocking. So lovely. I will definitely be coming back to Around The Rosy on my trips home to Connecticut, and have already told many friends to go check it out.
